Chapter 317: The 9th City, the Aliens Become Disloyal
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper's refusal actually caused a disaster. The scorpion man, who was younger but of the same build as the shopkeeper, showed a cold expression on his face and asked the shopkeeper, since the "beast room" was full, wasn't there a "human room"? Why didn't he arrange for him to live in the human room?
The shopkeeper sneered and told the two scorpion men that his inn had separate rooms for humans and beasts. The human rooms were for humans, and the beast rooms were for other races, and there had never been any mixing of the two.
The smaller scorpion man's purple face revealed a bit of anger. He slammed the table and asked the shopkeeper why he could stay in a room in other inns, but not here.
He even coldly questioned the shopkeeper, "Do you think that the Scorpion people are inferior to humans? Today, he must live in this human room!"
As he spoke, the Scorpion man became irritable and arrogant, as if he had been greatly humiliated, and he even felt like taking action.
The situation is not good.
The shopkeeper did not give in. After all, the reason was very simple. The aliens were naturally strong and did not hold back when they attacked. There had been examples of them staying in someone's room before, but when they checked out, they always left the room in a mess, and there were all kinds of strange smells that could not be washed away.
This is a common occurrence, otherwise the shopkeeper would not have refused to let them move into the room.
Besides, this is his inn, he can give accommodation to whoever he wants.
At this time, the older Scorpion Man looked at the shopkeeper and became angry, thinking that the shopkeeper was deliberately targeting him.
The shopkeeper was about to say something when he heard a sound of breaking wind beside him. He saw the white-clothed swordsman who had been standing aside watching the show had flashed to his side without him noticing.
The sword was already unsheathed, but it was not aimed at anyone.
Instead, it was nailed vertically to the ground.
The sword passed through a purple scorpion tail and was stained with lavender blood.
original.
The younger scorpion man was harboring resentment and actually wanted to use the poison of the scorpion tail to secretly harm the shopkeeper. The scorpion tail nailed to the ground belonged to the younger scorpion man.
His nerves reflexed and a sharp pain came, and he screamed in pain.
This shout attracted countless gazes, both human and alien.
Li Changxiao's expression was very calm. He ignored the scorpion man's call and lightly slashed with his sword.
The purple scorpion's tail broke with a sound, and blood gushed out like a fountain, with a faint fishy smell. The shopkeeper did not lie. The aliens had a strong body odor, and it was difficult to cover up. In comparison, the shopkeeper was more willing to entertain human guests. However, due to the overall environment of the Ninth City, he adhered to the principle of treating people equally and opened animal rooms and human rooms.
The little scorpion man's face, which originally contained contempt and pride, was now covered with pain.
Li Changxiao gently wiped the blood off the sword.
"Your Mightiness!"
"You are really going too far!"
The other scorpion man went to support the little scorpion man and looked at Li Changxiao coldly. His eyes were deeply cold, as if he wanted to remember him in his mind.
Li Chang laughed and said, "The scorpion's poison can kill a person in three days. Logically speaking, I am acting in a reasonable way even if I kill you. Now I only take one of yours, which is already a bargain for you."
"You two should leave immediately, otherwise...you will bear the consequences."
"Humph!"
The big scorpion carried the small scorpion on his back and said, "Today, you two humiliated my scorpion clan. I will remember this!"
After saying this, he ran out of the inn.
The little scorpion turned around and looked at Li Changxiao coldly.
Purple blood was dripping along the way.
Li Changxiao's expression did not change at all from beginning to end. In his opinion, this was just a trivial matter among trivial matters.
"Boss, it seems the current situation is very delicate." Li Changxiao sighed.
"Huh?" The shopkeeper gave him a puzzled look.
"look."
Li Changxiao pointed outside the inn and the people who gathered around to watch the excitement.
The shopkeeper looked over, somewhat puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"Look at the faces of the aliens." Li Chang said with a smile.
The shopkeeper looked at it again, his expression changed slightly, and he sensed something strange, an indescribable weirdness.
There is also a slight chill that I feel from the bottom of my heart.
He saw that all the people of the foreign race had gloomy faces and a sense of anger that could not be expressed. Even the few good friends of the foreign race who he thought he got along very well with looked at him in the same way.
For a moment, he was stunned.
Li Changxiao said: "Things are different now..."
He gently patted the shopkeeper's shoulder and sincerely suggested: "Shopkeeper, if you have enough money, you should pack up and leave Green Domain."
The shopkeeper's expression changed slightly and he shook his head. "Sir, you don't know that I have run this inn for decades, and it is not so easy to give it up."
"Even if it means risking your life, you still don't want to?" Li Changxiao asked.
"No." The shopkeeper shook his head and said seriously, more like he was advising himself.
Seeing this, Li Changxiao stopped persuading him.
When he first entered the Ninth City, he felt something was wrong.
On the surface, humans and other races get along very harmoniously, living as neighbors and coexisting on equality.
But in reality, I'm afraid this is not the case.
Li Changxiao discovered that all the younger alien humans walking on the streets had a sense of superiority and arrogance from the bottom of their hearts.
Nostrils pointed upward.
The older ones, on the surface, seemed very friendly. They talked and laughed with ordinary people, greeted each other, and even put their arms around each other and went out to drink together.
What does this mean?
It's simple, disguise.
Although they seem to be getting along equally, there is actually a huge imbalance hidden.
The Inhumans are far superior to ordinary humans in terms of lifespan, strength, and ability.
It used to be full of spiritual energy.
The human race is born with a shortcut, and their practice is fast, so the weakness of their flesh is not worth mentioning. There are also endless body-building methods to make up for this shortcoming, and they can also refine various magic weapons to balance this innate imbalance.
As the spiritual energy was depleted, this imbalance became increasingly obvious.
And contradictions...naturally arise.
This problem was reflected in the attitude of the snake waiter, the arrogance of the purple-skinned scorpion man, and the expressions of the aliens who were watching the show.
Li Changxiao possesses the power of dreams. After opening his senses to perceive dreams, he has an even deeper feeling about it.
That's why he persuaded the shopkeeper to leave.
But since the other party was unwilling, Li Changxiao would not force him. At most, he would plant a few dreams as a warning.
This is all he can do.
